Eh, having run a few Lycomings dry in my day, if you get the fuel selector in the right place and the boost pump you're good to go. Never had an issue getting any restarted.
I've heard that the Continentals can be a little more temperamental.
All that said, definitely agree on the "talented kind of stupid."
